On the road again…almost

Tonight I started picking some debris (bits of straw and grass) out of Miss Chip. She’s still in pretty ‘clean’ condition from the last show we went to Labor Day weekend, so she doesn’t need much grooming. I’m not giving her another bath either, I think it gives her the frizzies.

The BIG E or the Eastern States Exposition is in full swing and the Llama Show is this weekend. I’ve begun prepping for departure on Thursday. Llama folk need to be there for check-in Thursday late in the day. Check-out is for us early Sunday afternoon.

Besides the regular classes, there are also silly classes including costume (for human and llama) and Llama Limbo. I have to brag that I won Llama Limbo last year with a llama belonging to an acquaintance. I didn’t know that llamas could crawl for the limbo, I don’t think the llama knew he could either, I know his owners were stunned. Still, he was very good at following my lead and I crawled under. That was really fun!

This is a great fair and it’s only 1.5 hours from Albany. The agricultural portion is amazing. And, I heard that there will be about 200 llamas at the show, very cool.

If you venture there, be sure to find me!

Here’s a photo of Miss Chip after her last bath – egads, she looks like a goof!
